Welp, time to go burn down a tech company.

Well, when people that come here from from abroad and say this kind of stuff, how can we not think we're awesome?It was a big culture shock moving here from Canada. People are self centered twats with a huge sense of entitlement. "The greatest country on earth"......and folks truly believe it here.
Pretty much anything America does will end up being the best. Hell, if anyone gave a lick about soccer here America would kick your British ass all up and down the pitch too.
For the record, I'm a Canadian and I despise a lot of what America is, does, and stands for. Those are just the cold hard facts as I see them.
You're talking humans in general. From Africa to Russia, to the US and everywhere else, people look out for #1, themselves. They're all behaving like humans. There are completely selfless people around the globe too with tons of compassion and consideration, not just this country or that country.And yeah, the majority of people in the US couldn't give a damn about anything but themselves. If it doesn't directly affect their lives, they really couldn't care less. I'm not saying that's everyone, just the majority.
I could say the same thing about you, considering I didn't quote your post + wasn't directed towards you. Just in general for all the haters (obviously your one)Did I call YOU an arrogant asshole? It's not my problem that you're so thin-skinned that you can't hear someone's opinion about *some* of your fellow countrymen.
My god. Maybe the comment should have been Americans are sensitive assholes.
I knew mtv was fucked when they canceled Headbangers Ball and created Road Rules/Real World.All I have to say about this is that whoever owns MTV is the downfall of our nation. They used to rock out, now they 16 and pregnant out.

I will refer you to my previous comment, there are arrogant/sensitive assholes all over this planet. USA has a bad rap because all YOUR countrymen come here.
By our ancestors you mean Europeans? LolYou just don't get it, do you?
America doesn't have a bad rap because of foreigners coming here. Let me see if I can help you connect the dots ....
Your ancestors came to this land, stole it from the native Americans, then proceeded to slaughter them. We in turn celebrate this great time in American history every year by stuffing our fat faces full of turkey.
Your ancestors then decided it would be a great idea to head over to Africa and take hostage hundreds of thousands of black folks and bring them over here to be slaves.
That has been followed by 100 years of war where America has been front and center, killing millions of innocent men women and children, setting up military bases all over the planet, stealing other countries natural resources, and leaving death and destruction in it's wake.
Today, America incacerates more people than any other country, and we represent 5% of the worlds population yet we consume 25% of the worlds resources. Given all of that, there is a good portion of the country that still celebrates this shady history, refers to their country as the "land of the free", and the "greatest country on the planet" completely oblivious and ignorant as to why the rest of the world shakes their head at them.
So yes, those folks are arrogant, ignorant assholes. Given your simpleton outlook, apparently you're one of them
Man, you sure hate the place you live, Damm shame. Why do you stay? And please don't say 'family' or'job' - surely Canada has ways of making a living and raising kids in a manner far more in line with your sensibilities, no?You just don't get it, do you?

And if you think Americans were going to Africa and taking people "hostage", you're in need of a history lesson.
Americans just took advantage of a lucrative slave market. They didn't go running around Africa taking Africans "hostage" like you seem to think. That was their fellow Africans. Guess who purchased the most slaves from these markets, Europeans. They didnt go inland, they stayed on the coast and had the natives bring them slaves.Ohh, they wanted to come here and be slaves?
Man, all this time I thought they were forced to be slaves.
Well shit, learned something new today.

I know why you're here. I asked why you stay.I am here because I was drafted by an American hockey team. I married an American, and we have a family. Uprooting them at this point would be difficult, be we are planning on moving to Canada at some point.
Well at least you actually learned something. America would never have had slavery if it wasn't for the Europeans who founded it. And you seriously have the nerve to tell people they don't get it?Well thanks for the history lesson.
That makes me feel a lot better about it
I know why you're here. I asked why you stay.
I once relocated to Hee Haw, TN for a job, and married there. 18 months later, the wife was the only thing I could stand about the place and the people. Her family and kids were all there, and she preferred not to leave. But she did. It was difficult, but she stayed w/ her husband when he re-relocated.
Difficult is not impossible. You're making excuses, probably because you're happy to enjoy the benefits of the country that you trash.
If I live to be 83, I will draw an equal amount from the 'system' that I paid in through payroll deductions. Nice try.The benefits? What would those be? I have always worked. I pay plenty of taxes, and I donate my money and time. I don't sit on my arse and sap off the system like some.
You?
We stole America from the Native Americans and the people who ended up being "Mexicans" then we tried to commit genocide against the natives. It is documented that our ancestors rounded them up like cattle killing whole tribes including women and children.You just don't get it, do you?
